Purl Soho Quilt
I was inspired by the Purl Soho display window to make a quilt. I love the colors of the display, which strikes me as very distinctive, very particular to the store.
The block is a nine patch, called Magic Cross Nine Patch from this book. The block in the book is microscopic, so I made it bigger, with 2-1/2 inch triangles and 4 inch squares.
The border is made from the leftover 2-1/2 inch triangles. Piecing the border was rather labor intensive, but I listened to lots of books on CD while I worked.
I have lots of tops to quilt, but I am glad to have enough of my quilting mojo restored to complete this top.
